[edit] Al-Madanat (second nomination)

Al-Madanat (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Not Notable and Orphaned. Previously nominated for speedy delete but rescued by User:NawlinWiki giving the reason "lots of family name articles on Wikipedia". But Wikipedia is not a directory or list of surnames. Everybody's surname has a history. Note that the article was created by User:Imadanat, ie. possible COI. It has also been previously tagged as not notable but this has been removed as well. The only article linking to this one is a redirect page created by User:NawlinWiki on the same day that he/she removed the speedy delete. Jezzerk 21:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment. I just fixed this entry because it wasn't listed properly; however, I cannot find a "first" nomination. I suspect that there isn't one and that the nomination is referring to the previous "speedy" as the first nom. No "vote" from me, just trying to save others from looking for the logs I couldn't find.

  • Delete The other family name articles list notable people carrying that name. There is no such context here, and so the precedent cited by User:NawlinWiki fails. DrKiernan 10:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I am the original speedy nominator. Some names are notable, for sure, but not this one. If we can cite the existing information and/or list some notable people with this name, I'd be happy to keep. Vectro 23:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
